Product details
Overview
SN74HC574APWR from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus driving in digital systems. It operates across 2 V to 6 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, exhibits typical propagation delay of 22 ns (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and supports clock frequencies up to 24 MHz. It is used in I/O port expansion and bidirectional data bus buffering in industrial controllers and embedded peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC574APWR datasheet, SN74HC574APWR pinout, SN74HC574APWR application, or SN74HC574APWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state bus-compatible output architecture, wide supply voltage range, low ICC (80 µA max), precise setup/hold timing (tsu = 25 ns, th = 5 ns at 4.5 V), and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74HC574APWR implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with synchronous data capture and asynchronous 3-state control via OE. Its output-enable logic is noninverting and does not affect internal flip-flop state retention - data can be updated while outputs remain high-impedance.
It features bus-structured pinout for minimized trace crosstalk, CMOS-level input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V at VCC = 4.5 V), and robust noise immunity with ±1 µA max input current. Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 131.8 °C/W in its TSSOP-20 package, supporting operation from –40 °C to +85 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 22 ns typical at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures timing compliance in 24 MHz bus clocking applications. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at VCC = 5 V - directly drives 15 LSTTL loads or standard CMOS buses without external buffers. |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1 µA max - minimizes static power draw and prevents floating-input-induced instability. |
| Setup/Hold Time | tsu = 25 ns, th = 5 ns at VCC = 4.5 V - defines minimum data stability window before/after CLK rising edge for reliable capture. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80 µA max at VCC = 6 V - supports low-power system states without compromising register functionality. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | ten = 32 ns, tdis = 32 ns at VCC = 4.5 V - enables fast bus arbitration and multi-master contention resolution. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body size, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CLK) | Clock Input | Rising-edge trigger for synchronous data capture into all eight flip-flops. |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data Inputs | Parallel 8-bit data path; sampled on CLK↑ and held until next clock edge. |
| 11–18 (Q1–Q8) | 3-State Outputs | Bus-compatible outputs; high-impedance when OE = high, otherwise driven high/low per stored data. |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-low control (logic low enables outputs); asynchronous and noninverting relative to output state. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all signals and power; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single-supply rail (2–6 V); requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide-Voltage Operation | 2 V to 6 V supply range allows interoperability across legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V systems without voltage translation. |
| High-Current 3-State Outputs | ±6 mA drive at 5 V supports direct connection to loaded data buses, eliminating need for discrete bus buffers. |
| Low-Power CMOS Architecture | 80 µA max ICC enables use in battery-backed registers and always-on subsystems with minimal standby consumption. |
| Bus-Structured Pinout | D and Q pins arranged in parallel order (D1–D8 left, Q1–Q8 right) simplifies PCB routing and reduces signal skew on shared buses. |
| Robust Timing Margins | 25 ns setup time and 5 ns hold time at 4.5 V provide margin for jitter-prone clock sources in industrial environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Embedded Microcontroller Bus Interface |

Use Value: Wide 2–6 V operation tolerates automotive battery fluctuations (e.g., cold-crank dips to 2.5 V), and –40 °C to +85 °C rating meets AEC-Q100 ambient requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT574PW | CMOS input thresholds replaced with TTL-compatible VIH/VIL (2 V min / 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V); identical pinout and timing. | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where legacy logic drives the D inputs. | Select SN74HCT574PW when interfacing directly to 74LS-series outputs without level shifting. |
| 74LCX574MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), higher speed (tpd = 6.5 ns typ at 3.3 V), and enhanced ESD protection (±2 kV HBM). | Optimized for 3.3 V-only portable and low-voltage industrial designs requiring faster throughput. | Choose 74LCX574MTCX for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing speed and ESD robustness over 5 V compatibility. |
Compared with SN74HC574APWR, SN74HCT574PW offers TTL input compatibility at 5 V but sacrifices universal 2–6 V flexibility, while 74LCX574MTCX delivers superior speed and ESD tolerance in 3.3 V systems but cannot operate above 3.6 V - making SN74HC574APWR the optimal general-purpose choice for mixed-voltage bus interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HC574APWR?
The SN74HC574APWR supports a maximum clock frequency of 24 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = 25 °C (CL = 50 pF). At 6 V, fmax rises to 28 MHz under the same conditions. These values assume proper layout, bypassing, and load capacitance - exceeding them may cause metastability or timing violations in the SN74HC574APWR.
Does SN74HC574APWR require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, SN74HC574APWR does not require external pull-up resistors on its outputs. Its 3-state outputs are actively driven high or low when enabled (OE = low), and present high impedance (not floating) when disabled (OE = high). Pull-ups are unnecessary unless a specific bus protocol mandates weak default states - which is not required for standard SN74HC574APWR operation.
Can SN74HC574APWR operate reliably at 2.5 V supply voltage?
Yes, SN74HC574APWR is fully specified down to 2 V supply voltage. At 2.5 V, it maintains guaranteed functionality with VIH = 1.7 V min, VIL = 0.7 V max, tpd ≤ 270 ns, and tsu ≥ 125 ns - meeting requirements for low-voltage industrial sensors and battery-powered subsystems where SN74HC574APWR serves as a voltage-scalable interface register.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74HC574APWR in its TSSOP package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74HC574APWR in the TSSOP-20 (PW) package is 131.8 °C/W, per TI's SCLS148H datasheet revision May 2022. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves with PCB copper pour and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad region of the SN74HC574APWR.
How does the OE pin function in SN74HC574APWR, and is it synchronous or asynchronous?
The OE (output enable) pin in SN74HC574APWR is asynchronous and active-low. When OE = low, outputs Q1–Q8 reflect the stored D-input states; when OE = high, all outputs enter high-impedance regardless of CLK or D activity. OE does not affect internal flip-flop operation - data can be latched or retained independently of output state, a key feature of the SN74HC574APWR architecture.
